Consider an equilibrium (K1) that is established after 10 mL of compound A and 10 mL of compound B are mixed. Now, imagine the equilibrium (K2) where 1 mL of compound A is added to 100 mL of compound B. How are K1 and K2 related algebraically (read this question VERY carefully, at least one more time)

The equilibrium constant K₁ = Equilbrium constant K₂.

The equilibrium constant, K, of a reaction, is defined as:

"The ratio between concentration of products powered to their reaction quotient and concentration of reactants powered to thier reaction quotient".

For the reaction:

aA + bB ⇄ cC + dD

The equilibrium constant, K, is:

Now, assuming the reaction of the problem is 1:1:

A + B ⇄ C + D

The concentrations of the reactants are directly proportional to the volume added. Thus, we can assume that concentration = Volume. Replacing for K₁ and K₂:

In the same way:

Thus, we can say:
